While he is isolated from his neighbours, and the world for that matter, it is Erdogan who has chosen to isolate himself. There is no credibility in picking and choosing which laws, and agreements, one will respect. What of the paradox; a Libyan Government is recognised by Turkey because it is recognised by the UN, and Cyprus? (Even more Ironic, since Turkey is a Guarantor of the very Government it ignores, in Cyprus)

In affect Turkey is divided, those for "Turkishness", and those who recognise and respect the value of Universal Principals and a Rule, of Law.

The motive as yet does not seem to be entirely clear, although one hopes as a Statesman, by causing all these disruptions he intends to negotiate from a position of strength, this time, a treaty beyond Sevres, or Lausanne. In any case, those "not Turkish" should be preparing quite seriously for War, and for the same reasons.
